I don't know for sure about the UM1, but I own UM2s and have seen an E2c. The UM2s are bigger, but the E2c is awkwardly shaped compared to the UM2s (which contour nicely to the ear).
i owned E2C before and now the UM2.. The E2C is alittle bigger in size... The UM2 has the same size ans shape as UM1.. except heavier... They have a slimer profile
I have the E2C's and am considering an upgrade to the UM1's. Most people say they have much lower profile compared to the E2C's, and are more comfortable.
And I hate the cord on the E2C's because they don't stay behind the ear very well, always ending up over my ear lobe which is very uncomfortable
I've only had the UM1s for a short time, but they are very comfortable. Probably the most comfortable IEMs I've tried. The cord stays quite nicely, which I think is due to the fact that they use a twisted cable.
They are very low profile, but not having e2s to compare them with, I can't really say for sure how they will differ. I will tell you, that they do improve quite nicely with an amp. I wasn't impressed with my first listen. However, after giving them a bit of time, and amping them, they are actually quickly becoming a new favorite.
